No one folds! If I jump to double the stakes, $.02-.04 Can I start making fancy bluffs?

I don't know, Thomas. But a few weeks ago I decided to try out 4c/8c (1c ante) seven-card stud at Pokerstars as I'd never played stud before and wanted to get in some practice for the Zoo tourney. I got extremely lucky and soon graduated to the $0.50/$1.00 tables at Party. I found the penny ante tables at Pokerstars were much the tighter.

This is because of the ante structure. The penny ante game has fairly large ante, but Party's .5/1 game has an absurdly large ante. The 25 cent ante puts $2 in the pot, so you start of getting a good price on your 25 cent bring-in to chase. You are also paying a big bet every four hands for antes. You simply have to play more hands in that structure.
